⚓ The Swordfish of Life – View facing the port at Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie ⚓
Welcome to Swordfish of Life, a superb 45 m² apartment located on the ground floor of the secure residence L'Espadon.

The real highlight of this accommodation is found outside: a pleasant terrace extended by a small enclosed garden facing the harbor, equipped with garden furniture and deck chairs to admire the coming and going of boats in the sun.
The night space is optimized for the comfort of families or couples of friends through two separate bedrooms:
-Room 1: A welcoming master bedroom equipped with a double bed (140x190).
Room 2: An ideal bedroom for children or loved ones with two bunk beds (90x190).
On the amenities side, the apartment has a nice modern bathroom with shower and washing machine, not to mention separate toilets for added convenience.
Thanks to its exceptional geographical location, the Swordfish of Life allows you to do everything on foot and enjoy multiple activities:

-The Fishing and Pleasure Port (on site): Witness the return of fishing boats (the famous sardines of Saint-Gilles!), stroll along the quays and enjoy the numerous seafood cafés and restaurants at the foot of the accommodation.
